I love the colors on this one. Unfortunately, the picture's not doing them any justice. There's another little squirrel in that print. See him?

This next block might just be my favorite so far. I decided to make another week 2 block, mostly because it is one of the few to feature such a large center square. Because the fabric line I am using has a lot of large prints that get lost when cut down too small, this was the perfect block to repeat. Plus, I got to use a bit of Mr. Owl ...

Since I am simultaneously making blocks for both quilt-a-longs, I decided to omit one of the blocks from quilt-a-long 1 and replace it with Mr. Owl. I am usually such a stickler for rules, but once I decided it was OK to veer off course a bit, I felt very liberated. I might actually make a 3rd one of these blocks and omit another QAL1 block.

I've also been completing some of the blocks from QAL1, but I've stopped doing them in order.
